Permit data turns your sub directory into a living asset.
Find subs you've never used
Permit data surfaces subs actively working in your metro — not just the four you call every time. Filter by project type, value, and CSI division.
Qualify before you invite
Every surfaced sub shows their recent permit history, typical project size, and contractor license status. You know their capacity before you send the ITB.
Regional benchmarks that actually work
Cost benchmarks normalized per-metro. Austin labor rates don't mislead Dallas estimates. Your Houston job isn't priced off Fort Worth data.
Built in Texas, shipping nationally.
PreconIntel was built inside Maxx Builders — a Texas commercial GC — and now serves GCs across the state. National metro coverage is on the roadmap; Texas GCs get first access to every new city.
